To the end of the term that is.
I know I can’t believe it as well. Only seven (and a half) weeks left to this term. Since I don’t have much to talk about (Hell Week and Reading Week are not as newsworthy as I thought it would be), I just would like to thank some of the people who have made the first half of this term so amazing.
Directors
Nothing makes me happier than seeing an event run really well, and my have there been a lot of those this term! OTs, ski trips, Genius Bowl, Resume Critiques, LAN Party, Therapy Puppies, and the PEO info session. These are just a few of this term’s events that were super successful. I like to thank the amazing directors for putting in the time and effort despite having a full engineering course load. It’s not easy, you know!
Executives
These guys rock yo! And here’s a few example why. Peter drafted one of the best EngSoc budgets I’ve seen in a while. Catherine built the term’s calendar, which was particularly tough this term since this term is one week shorter than other terms, and we had to accommodate to events such as IRS, GradBall, and Orientation Leader Retreat. Megan had to go through like a 30 page report for a meeting regarding the structure of our co-op program. And even though Kristina just got elected for VP External, she’s already been busy with attending PEO meetings and coming up with ideas to raise awareness of Women in Engineering.
Communications Commissioner
Did you notice that the weekly events emails look slightly different on your smartphone when compared to checking them on your computer? That’s because Alessia, our communications commissioner, took the time to figure out how to make the email appear differently when it’s being viewed from a computer or a mobile device. Oh yea, she also came up with the design of the emails and made sure that email is filled with event photos and descriptions every week.
Righteous.
Last Minute Life Savers
Like the Americans in WWII, these guys came in at the last second to save the day. Due to some incidents that I don’t want to go through now, we started the term with no Speaker, no VP External, and no WEEF Director, and let’s just say it was stressful. We needed to find a speaker before the first council meeting, a CRO and a timeline for the elections, and of course a VP External and a WEEF Director. I want to thank Mina for taking on the responsibilities of speaker a week before the first meeting, Brian for taking the role of CRO, Brock and Laurin for taking over WEEF Director duties for the term, even though they both finished their terms as WEEF Direcrtors, and Kristina for taking on the role of VP External, even though she’s technically not until the Spring Term.
And of course, I want to thank you. I know I know it’s too cliché. But seriously, if you took the time to read through this whole article, then I can rest assured that people care about and appreciate what we do.
Cheers,
Yasser.
